No, this is not correct and you can recite a Surah before it.

And Allah knows best

In the hanafi madhab, they say the surah after faatihah in the 2nd rakaah has to be the direct surah after the surah in the 1st rakaah, or 2 surahs or more after. ie. if i recite surah teen in 1st rakaah, in 2nd rakaah i should recite al-bayyinah (or any surah after that), and cannot recite surah qadr but i could recite surah alaq. is this correct?

If one doesn’t have time to pray the 2/4 Sunnah rakaah before Fard of Zuhr, and one makes these rakaah up later, should he pray 2 or 4? my understanding currently is a person should pray 4 rakaah if he prays them at home, or 2 if in the Masjid..
